I couldn't decide what to write about after all this time.....you've heard enough about the virus, and the politics and everything that has occurred since March....So I will concentrate on other stuff. Inconsequential, meaningless and frivolous happenings. Important and unimportant events.
1st is bird feeding which I gave up several years ago because the squirrels ate everything I put out. (Back yard, front yard, near the house, far in the woods ) So I decided to try 1 more time to feed the birds. I found out that BIRDS like thistle seeds and squirrels don't. I had 3 very old feeders. I ordered the seed on line (no shopping in stores), put them in the front yard where I could see them from the family room and easily refill when needed. AND the birds came !!! Cardinals and mourning doves and robins and wrens and sparrows and other birds I don't know. And if you know me you know I can't leave well enough alone so I read more info about birds and discovered that they will eat stale bread and crackers soaked in water. They gobbled up saltines, challah, matzah, rye bread, bagels and muffins. They weren't crazy about garlic bread from Mamma Lucias but eventually ate it. The squirrels seemed to like it !! I put a large plastic dish filled with mush, place it on the ground under the hanging feeders for the ground feeding birds in the morning I remove it in the evening.
Yes I know the feeder also attracts mice, moles, voles and many many chipmunks. I shooed away a deer at 2 am. But I am having a wonderful time watching them through the window during Zoom exercise and yoga classes. I find broken limbs and branches and rocks to bring to the area.
Just my kind of mental distraction !!!
How's that little story ?? Boring ? Dull? Mundane ? Good .
Got many more ! How about a story about the thrills of online
grocery shopping ?
And is there any interest in the variety of cleaning projects available that I never heard of (online)
TV shows from the 50's and 60's (Annie Oakley, Rte 66, )
Endless repeats of Frasier, all the Law and Orders,
Everybody in my family and world is healthy.
Hope you are too.
